Journey Overview

Leaving the Starhotels Excelsior for Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport? A pre-booked car means a punctual pickup from the lobby in Train Station / Pietramellara and a direct, fixed-price ride to the airport, instead of the AerobusTrain people-mover to Bologna Centrale station, then a taxi or walk with your luggage.

Every transfer includes an on-time hotel pickup, luggage assistance, a professional English-speaking driver and a fixed, all-inclusive fare — a genuine door-to-door service with no meter and no hidden charges.

About Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is a single-terminal airport about 6 km northwest of the historic centre, with a compact, easy-to-navigate arrivals hall. A people-mover train, the AerobusTrain, links it to Bologna Centrale station, but it involves a station change and a walk or taxi with luggage at the other end — a private transfer instead takes you directly to your hotel's door. BLQ is also a convenient alternative gateway for Modena's Ferrari Museum, Parma and Ravenna, all reachable within an hour or so by road.
